Lonnie

I do consider the box and the condition of it when I buy a new pair of shoes but once they get home, the box is never used to store my shoes. I have built a large walk in closet with pristine white shelves to display my high heels. I will save the boxes from my Louboutins in case I ever choose to sell them. Same for my Choo's or Manolo's.

A standard is only a standard if if uses something that everybody can agree on as to that something being standard. In the real world, most standards come with an adjective which immediately defines it as being non standard. IE:American Standard right away means it is only stadard in America.....There is no end. If it fits, it fits. I have found that all of the shoes that fit me well are exactly "one Standard Foot long" My foot of course being my standard.

I consider anything less than 3" high to be simply a pair of "Flip Flops" I wear a size 44/12 so I can easily accomodate a 5" heel and most often do.

My name is Lonnie and I live in cental PA. High heels have and always will be a favorite of mine. Currently, I have well over a hundred pairs of heels, the majority of them 5" high or higher. I travel quite a bit for my work and have as of late been doing most of it in high heels. The security line at the airports are almost fun now as I slip out of a pair of 5" stilettos to pass through the majic gate. The best part though is the sound they make on the terrazzo floors as I go to the jetway gates.
